8th Grade Math: Today in math students began class with the Problem of the Day.  Next, students jumped back into chapter 5 and we quickly reviewed how to multiply fractions and mixed numbers.  We then graded the 5.5 WS on dividing fractions, and we realized that students needed more instruction and practice time with this concept.  So, students were assigned problems out of the text book in order to help gain a better understanding of the dividing fractions concept.  Page 245 #2-24 (evens), is due Wednesday in class.

Assignments:  Review HW #43 is due Wednesday in class.  TPage 245 #2-24 (evens), is due Wednesday in class.
